Neck reset a Rozawood guitars

[@mtwseneca]

I thought of passing this to you:
My son picked up a Giannini classical guitar, a curb sale model, I was NOT going to pull the neck off to correct the extreme high action.
I removed the finger board. With it off, the neck was as floppy as a fish out of water.
I clamped the body down fully (shimming where needed to get it solidly flat onto my work table).
Then I tied the neck down to some blocks to back- bow the neck about 3/32ths of an inch, figuring the string load should pull it straighter. Then I re-glued the fingerboard down.
I remember doing it two times before I got it right, so I think it was 3/32ths.
Anyway, it has been 3 years, and two pennies stacked fits under the 12th fret gets a slight buzz
( I like the action more like a steel string guitar.)
Only issue is the thing is loud and bassy but what a sound from rosewood.
This is hard to believe but after 52 years, it still has a faint sweet vanilla smell at the soundhole.
I do put a capo on each guitar I have to lessen the string load and make it easier for me to play.
I did the same "Reset" to a little German made guitar my wife should not have bought at a yard sale.
Still good. Mike
